In Softonic we are going to show you <strong>7 tricks to get the most out of your PS5<\/strong>. They are basic things that go unnoticed and can increase the performance of your gaming hours. Pay attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatically turns off the controller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not that the DualSense battery is one that lasts very long. It usually runs out relatively quickly, especially if the game in question uses haptic functions, a lot of vibration, sound, lights, etc. For this reason, you should try to make it last as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The controller can be set to <strong>turn off automatically<\/strong> after a period of non-use. This saves battery life in a really easy way. Just go to <strong>System -&gt; Power Saving -&gt; Set the time until the controllers are turned off<\/strong>. As soon as you activate it, you can set 10, 30 and 60 minutes. Our recommendation? <strong>10 minutes always to save as much as possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube is-tandpe-video wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to AUTO Turn Off PS5 Controller After 10 Minutes! (Power Saving Settings)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KCcYBUNWXBs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disables automatic captures and clips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can save a lot of space to install games by <strong>disabling the PlayStation 5 automatic captures<\/strong>. This function is enabled by default and is a real drain on hard disk space as soon as you play, we assure you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, go to &#8220;Settings&#8221; and click on &#8220;Captures and transmissions&#8221;. Three fields will appear: &#8220;Captures&#8221;, &#8220;Transmissions&#8221; and &#8220;Trophies&#8221;. You are only interested in the last one, <strong>&#8220;Trophies&#8221;<\/strong>. Click there and deactivate <strong>&#8220;Save trophy screenshots&#8221;<\/strong> and <strong>&#8220;Save trophy videos&#8221;<\/strong>. It&#8217;s that easy. You will thank us for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customize notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people love them, but we believe that <strong>the fewer notifications on the screen, the better<\/strong>. The ideal is that when we are playing or watching a video we are focused only on that activity, that is, that there is nothing that can interrupt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In PlayStation 5 we can configure the notifications to pop up at will. Basically, we go into <strong>Settings -&gt; Notifications<\/strong> and customize what we want. Remove all (or almost all), as a recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/ps5-vertical-800x450-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lower quality of catches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you take a lot of pictures and don&#8217;t care about the quality, <strong>you can always reduce the size of the snapshots in a very simple way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to Settings -&gt; Captures &amp; Streams and look under &#8220;Captures&#8221;. Once there, we recommend that you <strong>change the format of the snapshots to &#8220;JPG&#8221;<\/strong> (they are in PNG) and that you set the following settings for the videos: <strong>WebM format, 1920 x 1080 resolution and both microphone and group disabled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save your games in the cloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has a trick, since <strong>you can&#8217;t do it if you don&#8217;t have a PlayStation Plus subscription<\/strong>. However, if you do have one, our advice is to save all your games in the cloud. Yes, they&#8217;re on the console too, but it&#8217;s a great backup in case something happens to you one day. Nothing can be more hateful than losing your progress in a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/playstation-plus-essential-extra-premium-800x450-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configure your privacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may seem basic, but it is often forgotten. Within <strong>Settings -&gt; Accounts and users -&gt; Privacy<\/strong> we can customize the privacy settings of our PlayStation 5 profile. There are quite a few options to consider, such as who can see our profile, what we are sharing with other users when playing (even publicly), the players we can block from bothering us and so on. It is worth taking advantage of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid spoilers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know that spoilers are a concern nowadays, right? Well, we can prevent them from &#8220;attacking&#8221; us on PlayStation 5 thanks to the console settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We go to <strong>Settings -&gt; Saved data and game\/application settings<\/strong>. Once there, look very well in the section called &#8220;Spoiler warnings&#8221;. If you activate this option, the screen will show a &#8220;Spoilers&#8221; label or hide the content that could reveal something of the plot. Of course, this is exclusive for PS5 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube is-tandpe-video wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PS5 Como evitar los spoilers de videojuegos al compartir im\u00e1genes y v\u00eddeos\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uGaVXlch4Rc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What other options do you think will help you get the most out of your PlayStation 5 console?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We bring you a series of recommendations that are very easy to follow to enhance your experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9091,"featured_media":221981,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1018],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-221979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9091"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221979"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":321070,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221979\/revisions\/321070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221979"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=221979"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=221979"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=221979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
